now the propellers are on, I just have to repair part of the aft mast, then rigging can begin, as I have borrowed some rigging thread from a friend I've also included a photo of a 1/350 s-100 schnellboot that I was working on. I'm doing an ocean diorama for it right now, and will create a gallery for it once it's done

It’s really starting to come together . The last thing I have to do is decide whether or not to do rigging.

Some more progress with the railings, unfortunately I’ve ended up spilling a lot of glue on the deck. It’s not too visible, especially from far away, but I definitely need to refine my process

Thank you very much. Are there any specific resources you would recommend? I've had a look around here but most of what I found deal more with what to do, instead of how to do it. I've also been looking to buy some books (I know Lee is very highly regarded but it seems to be out of print here). You're right about the start of rigging being a halfway point; I already feel like of learned so much even though I've just done the shrouds.

beautiful work! Simply magnificent. I've been inspired to stop cutting corners with my current build and learn how to do rigging the proper way.

The funnels and cranes have all been painted and attached, and they just need to be weathered. I’m not sure exactly how I’ll weather it yet, but I’ll probably just use some oil paints.

I've finished everything but the rigging, and I must now decide what to do for sails. It seems that my options are 1. use the kit sails, 2. make my own out of silkspan or paper, and 3. don't use sails at all. I would like to have sails on my ship, but the kit sails are very underwhelming. I would like to try making my own, but this is my first wood kit, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to do a good job. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have replaced on of the bent mast tips, and have started on the first funnel The funnel went very smoothly, although I did end up having to trim the lower railing.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
